After 8 years of mixing, and changing not so different styles of electronic music in his sets, trying to catch but also to assimilate and understand many influences from different parts, Alex Maresh’s sound remains, at least for now, in the techno area, a very wide one and permanently opened music space.
As a DJ, Maresh was always found of the technical aspect, of the technology that could help him to manipulate the sound. He tried all the mixing ways available of that period, and searched something that was suited for he’s needs. Later, as technology evolved, is more and more into loops and effects, more into combining 2 or more tracks simultaneously, trying to define it’s own idea of mixing. This kind of electronic music, techno in general, is repetitive music, sometimes groovy sometimes cold, but its loop music that combined and twisted can express a lot of different feelings even using the same loops/tracks. You can always express something new, even if you are using something old over and over again for example, so why to simply pass from one track to another, when you have so many new and different possibilities to mix, and you can create and recreate a track, combine it with something else or search a hypnotic voice for instance. Because of the abundant and more accurate mixing technology now days, the modern DJ or if you want the digital DJ, when is making use off all this stuff, can be classified in a new category between the “Live act” and “Dj set”, and this will be “DJ act”. He’s DJ acts are more into monotone and hypnotic rhythms with dark minimal techno bass lines and wired sounds, going up and down, from a small BPM with euphoric and groovy sounds to more dark and aggressive beats.
As a producer, first EP has been released at Subconce label, Spain, on 12 inch, a remix of Mihai Popoviciu’s track, Motor like. Another EP on Subconce Digital followed, called Slowmotion. Tracks also appear on the Harry Klein Networks compilation. Soon will be released at Subconce label, Maresh&Popoviciu – Don’t talk also on 12 inch and at mONOmENTAL label, Forbidden Fruit EP.
